Okay, so I woke up late today.
Overslept.
So I didn't go to church. Even for the first time. Ha.
So I see that Christians do get baptized too.
Anyway, I started reading the New Testament.
Really, like what he said, the Old Testament is boring except maybe for Genesis and Exodus.
Here's a passage for today.
Matthew 5:16, 5The Beautitudes
Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them, saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit
for theirs is in the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are those who mourn
for they will be comforted
Blessed are the meek
for they will inherit the earth
Blessed are those who hunger and
thirst for righteousness
for they will be filled
Blessed are the merciful
for they will be shown mercy
Blessed are the pure at heart
for they will see God
Blessed are the peacemakers
for they will be called sons of God
Blessed are those who persecuted
because of righteousness
for theirs is in the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
